CoC 2nd Anniversary!

Oh Yeah! September was also a special month because...

WOW!

2 YEARS OF COC!!!!

Let's make this post short, because I'm short on time. Actually, the anniversary was acouple of weeks ago but, who cares at this point about that?

So yeah, that little "6 months project" has become a 2 year quest...

The original image - but the candles fire rendered badly.

Thanks you for all the support over this past 2 years!!!!!! I'm still having a blast as we reach the final act of the comic!

10 Years of VipCaptions Blog!

YESS I'M BACK from my litte european work/vacation trip, and Wow, do I have to get up to date here!
September was always a very special month... Because amongst other things, yes, I can't fucking believe it, but...

OH boy... here it comes...

I't the 10th anniversary of the Blog!

Holy shit, really? 10 years of this? I still can't believe it. And, If we consider that before this Blog I was making captions for ye olde "Yahoo! Groups" that's like... No, I'm not doing the math. That would make me look and feel old!

Sooo much has happened since... My PC died once, loosing all my work... MY HDD fried, loosing almost everything... I got fired TWICE... I got an amazing job... My first apartment got flooded... I got my accounts hacked, TWICE... Years of energy being cut off... Now I'm moving again...

It all started a boring night, I felt the need for a creative escape, a sudden torrent of ideas, an impulse, something that has popped out in my mind many times before... But that night, I decided not to fight it. What for? Fuck it, I'm going forward with this - I got nothing to lose!
At that point I've read lots of stories, captions, found whatever comic I could (back then it was so hard!) until I reached that point were I wanted to do what I like, how I like, when I like, and not search for it hoping to find a needle in a haystack that could fit my likings and moods...

So I started, and the first outcome was... this!

And that horribly edited simple caption with that overly simple logo and the extremely short story (wow, how things change right?) was the beggining of this.
It never stopped. It just grew more and more and more! Soon special captions series started to become something regular. Anime captions, mini stories with pictures, captions by request, polls, art trades...

It was in 2009 when I made the gigantic step forward... Captions wasn't enough, I wanted more stories, more details, more morphs... So it was time to start making Comics!

And after that day... It became my main activity in the TG Fiction field. I just love trying new things like I do in VipComics, and then it came the quizzes... One day I'll make a movie, I tell you!

Eventually, I learned a thing or two. I started adding morphs to some captions, I learned a couple of things in Photoshop... The overly simple logo started to change...

*VIP*

Until we arrive to the brand new, shinny 80's style logo, more clear, more stylish, more dynamic, yet keeping the succubi's tail as a link to the past:

Fun fact: The original name was "Viper Captions", but back then, I wrote "*VIP*" without knowing that it meant "Very important person"... But it was already too late to change. 

Oh, yeah, but speaking of wings and succubis... It was a great accomplishment for me to finally give form to my avatar girl, and she looked like this:

Her first update was a big improvement...

But, since it's been 10 years, maybe it's time to refresh that model, to update it a bit, right?
So Say hello to the new avatar...Andlet'sunveilherslowly!

 

Ta-daaa! You like the new me? Funny. I just noticed every evolution involves more clothes. Am I heading to a Succubi dressed as a Nun next?


Oh, and If you're hungry for more really old captions, here are a few!

And that's it. And I know it's cheesy to say this, but this is a bit more than a hobby or an escape for me, and the only thing that kept me going all this time, and cheered me in so many bad moments was the feedback.
I know almost nobody leaves comments in blogs, that's almost a retro thing to do, but you are amazing. I got so many comments and feedback, so many laughs and smiles... You've cheered me up in so many occasions, you even inspired me to keep doing stuff.
Those bad days when you're tired and grumpy, you're heading straight to bed and suddenly read and comment put a smile you a smile? Pure fuel. I feel like I know you and you know me even though we'll probably never meet. Good vibes. I know some artists that came asking for help to start out and now they can kick my ass all day long (Sitri being the most notable) and it's great to be in touch!

Yes, cheesy, but also true. Shit, now I'm feeling emotional like a sissy. So, to round it up...

THANK YOU. 

Like, a lot! *giggle*.

Let's see how many years we can keep it up, cheers, and see you again in a few days!
